Our south facing home is constantly filled with light. Our view is of a small historic cemetery filled with huge trees, many birds and squirrels. The advantage of a small space is that we never have to go far to get something we need. We are hoping that when the little one arrives (any day now!), we'll be comforted by the fact that we'll always be just a few steps from the baby. Although the plan is open, our home is organized into distinct zones that frame different activities. By the windows are our desks, from where we both occasionally work from home. The living room takes up the center of the long main space and the kitchen/dining area is contained near the small entrance hall. Each of these areas is made distinct through color, material and lighting, making our home feel larger then it is.
